How and why does temperature affect the refractive index of a liquid?

Yes, the refractive index of a liquid often is different at different temperatures (usually negative; e.g. It goes down as temperature goes up), although typically the effect is very nominal. However, that is not to say that there is a constant relationship between Ref index & temperature. Refractive index is proportional to the square roots of electrical permittivity and magnetic permeability. These factors may change with temperature, but not linearly, and therefore RI does not have a simple relationship with temperature.


What is the index of refraction for liquid deuterium?

The value for the refractive index of Deuterium at 24.2K and at 3200 Angstrom, is given as 1.1321. As measured using the Cerenkov effect.


What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with refractive index greater than of glass?

Usually a convex lens made up a material with higher refractive index would act as a converging device when kept in a medium having lower refractive index such as air. But when it is kept in a liquid as said with higher refractive index then convex lens would become as a concave lens. Now it would diverge the rays entering through it right from the liquid with higher refractive index.


What is the Nature of a convex lens immersed in a liquid with a refractive index same as of glass?

The "nature" of it is the same as if it weren't immersed. However, if it has the same refractive index as the material it's immersed in, it will no longer have any discernable effect on the refraction of light; from the outside it will appear to just be another part of the liquid (it may well disappear from sight, since it's no longer visually distinguishable from the liquid itself).

Yes. Normally the refractive index is slightly different for different wavelengths.


The refractive index of water is 43 and for glass it is 32 with respect to airwhat is the refractive index of glass with respect to air?

"The refractive index of water is 4 / 3" means the refractive index of water with respect to air. "The refractive index of glass is 3 /2" means the refractive index of glass with respect to air. You change the question as ," what is the refractive index of glass with respect to water? The answer is it is the ratio of refractive index of of glass with respect to air to the refractive index of water with respect to air =( 3/2) divided by( 4/3) = 1.125


What is the unit of molecular refractive index?

I assume "molecular refractive index" refers to "the refractive index of a group of molecules". In this case, you just use the units for a refractive index - i.e., a dimensionless number.
